The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 8 She Won't Hurt Herself
After leaving An Xi Tang, Jing Shu did not return to Qingfeng Yuan, she asked Zi Yun to take back the satin that the old lady gave her, and went to Xi Yuan by herself.

The first house and the second house do not have separate residences. Their first house lives in Dongyuan, and the second house lives in Xiyuan, with only a long corridor in between.

Jingshu walked all the way to Bitangju, where Xu Wanning lived in Xiyuan, and the woman in charge went in to pass the news.After a while, Xu Wanning personally came out to welcome Jing Shu in.

The two exchanged greetings and entered the upper room.

Xu Wanning has a son and a daughter. Brother Dalang Kun has just turned three years old, and his youngest daughter, sister Zhuang, is not yet one year old.

The nurse is coaxing sister Zhuang to play on the couch.The little doll was born as cute as Yuxue, and Jing Shu stood in front of the couch and stretched out her arms to tease her, saying: "Come to Auntie, let Auntie give her a hug."

The little guy really crawled up to Jingshu, grabbed her clothes, stood up unsteadily, and threw himself into her arms.

Jing Shu picked up the little doll and praised: "This child is so cute."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "She, it's because you look bright."

Jing Shu kissed Sister Jing's bulging face, and said with a smile, "You know beauty at such a young age?"

Jingshu hugged her for a long time, until sister Zhuang was sleepy before handing it over to the wet nurse, who took her to Baoxia for a nap.

Xu Wanning joked: "I like children so much, hurry up and have one."

She really wanted to have a baby, but they made a fuss about separating from her.

Although Jing Shu felt a little awkward in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face, and said with a smile: "I don't have such a good fortune as my sister-in-law. I have only been in the door for a few years, and I have both sons and daughters."

As she said that, Jing Shu asked, "Why haven't you seen Brother Yu?"

Xu Wanning put down the teacup, pouted her lips in the direction of the second wife Guo's residence, and sighed, "My mother-in-law carried me to Songle Hall."

Mrs. Guo is Li Xian's biological mother. Although she is the second wife's mistress, she is bitter and harsh, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has not been very harmonious.

In her previous life, although she had very little contact with the various houses of the Duke of Zhen, she still heard about the rift between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xu Wanning said: "To tell you the truth, I envy you the most, this family member of the whole family."

"Sister-in-law goes out to a famous family and has sons and daughters. She is no better than me. What do you envy about me?"

"My mother-in-law is not here, how clean it is." Xu Wanning spoke quickly.

Xu Wanning and the Guo family are still mother-in-law and daughter-in-law no matter how bad they are. Jing Shu is not good at following her to scold her mother-in-law. She persuaded: "Auntie is only a son like elder brother. If you don't love her, who else can you love? She just has a stronger temper. You Just don’t take anything to heart.”

Xu Wanning complained quietly: "I don't care that she loves me, but I hope she has more sons so that we don't have to mess with us all the time."

"Sister-in-law is a caring person, why bother with aunt too much, isn't it you who suffer in the end?"

These words are sweet.

No matter how hard Xu Wanning tried, she couldn't win her mother-in-law's hand. No matter how free and easy she was, if her mother-in-law acted as a demon, she would have a sad day.

"I'm already respectful enough to her, but she..." Xu Wanning choked up and couldn't continue.

Jing Shu patted her hand and comforted her: "Come on, don't be like this, everyone's life is not all fragmented, sister-in-law, don't really take it to your heart, and be careful not to get angry."

Xu Wanning sniffed and complained: "It's fine if it's someone else, but she wants to play Brother Yu's idea."

"A few days ago, she brought me and my uncle over there. She cried a lot at first, saying that she had dreamed of her father-in-law. Instead of living alone in this world, she might as well go with her father-in-law. Hmph! It's like how much we love each other. She seems unfilial, everyone in the capital does not know that the uncle of the Duke of Zhen is a well-known dutiful son. The uncle was crying because of her, so he said that he would take Brother Yu to accompany his grandmother to relieve his boredom."

Xu Wanning tried her tears with a handkerchief, and said angrily: "I don't know her yet, I wanted to hold Brother Yu by my side for a long time. But our uncle is a foolish and filial person, and he doesn't care about our girls, so he just agreed." .”

This Guo family is indeed difficult.

Jing Shu comforted: "Auntie may bring brother back after taking her for a few days. You should go and see brother every day, and let the wet nurse take good care of him."

"You didn't know my mother-in-law when you first came in. She is tricky, and she looks down on my daughter-in-law everywhere. Why did she insist on hugging Yu'er? Isn't it just to make me unhappy?"

"No, I brought brother Yu's favorite food to visit him this morning, but the nuns around her stopped me with all kinds of excuses and refused to let me in, even if you say I can't force my way in. However, our uncle not only refused to make decisions for me, but also asked me to calm down, saying what it is, there is nothing wrong with raising him by his mother's side."

"If she was a sensible person like my grandmother, I wouldn't say anything if I kept her by my side. What do you think my son will be like with her temperament?" Xu Wanning said, choking up and crying.

With Guo Shi's temper, Brother Yu really isn't suitable to be by her side.

Although the uncle is her son, he is considered a weapon.He was a high school student at the beginning, and he was born in Zhen Guogong's mansion, so he was highly regarded by the Holy Master, and now he has become a second-rank Hubu Shangshu.But the reason why he became a talent was the late second old man who taught him personally, and it has nothing to do with her, Mrs. Guo.

Now Mrs. Guo is relying on the old man to trap his grandson by his side to raise him, and he doesn't blame Xu Wanning for being worried.

Isn't this delaying the child's future?
Jing Shu thought for a while, smiled, and said slowly: "Da Lang is still young, it's time to be naughty. The second uncle left early, and the second aunt was not in good health. She insisted on bringing Da Lang with her, just in case Tired out by the kids."

She paused, and said meaningfully: "Grandmother, I'm afraid I'm going to feel distressed again."

Xu Wanning said disdainfully: "It's too late for grandma to hate her, how come?" Halfway through speaking, she looked up at Jing Shu: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Jing Shu hurriedly picked up the teacup and sipped tea: "It's nothing, sister-in-law's tea is not bad."

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes and laughed through tears: "Look at me, I'm so confused by my mother-in-law and uncle." She looked at Jingshu gratefully, and said angrily, "It's a good thing you understand."

Jingshu put down the teacup: "Don't be impatient, let's talk about it in a few days, so as not to fall into the shoes of others."

"I know." Xu Wanning gave Jing Shu a look of "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion".

The two smiled quietly.

It was already noon when I returned to Qingfengyuan, and Jingshu wanted to take a nap as usual, but she didn't want to sleep until the second half of the afternoon today.

Hearing her get up, Ziyun came in and waited on her while saying: "Just now my uncle ordered someone to come back and spread the word, saying that there is an entertainment in the evening, and I won't come back for dinner."

Jing Shu responded, "Got it."

Ziyun asked: "Then what would you like to have for dinner tonight? I ordered the kitchen to cook something."

According to the rules of the mansion, the dinner in the main room consists of eight dishes: four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and two cold dishes.

According to Ziyun's tone, since Li Ling won't come back tonight, it will save trouble, so she won't just prepare dishes for her by herself.

Why!This is not to blame Ziyun.

Ever since she married Li Ling, she has been dominated by him everywhere, and even her close servant girl has become a habit of following her.

"Dinner is still prepared as usual, and let the kitchen make two extra desserts."

She really can't eat so much by herself.But the government of Tangtang Township will definitely not be poor just because she asked for two more dishes.

If Li Ling doesn't come back to eat, she won't make ends meet and wrong herself.

"Oh, yes, this servant will tell the kitchen." Ziyun listened to the master's order, agreed to leave the room, and went to the kitchen.

But I muttered in my heart: Recently, the young lady is really different from when she first married into the Zhen Guogong's mansion.Even more thoughtful than when he was in the boudoir.

But, there's nothing wrong with that.

Ziyun thought about it, and unconsciously briskly walked.
